Quilts of Valor

Northwest Oregon Quilts of Valor

Quilts of Valor is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring service members and veterans by presenting them with quilts made by caring volunteers. These quilts are more than handmade gifts—they are a tangible expression of gratitude, comfort, and appreciation for the sacrifices made in service to our country.

Northwest Oregon Quilts of Valor is an open-to-the-public Facebook group sharing Quilts of Valor information, events, Sew Days, and downloadable patterns, with a focus on the Molalla, Woodburn, and Canby areas. The group also works with TVQG by providing information about Quilts of Valor activities and opportunities for members to participate.

TVQG Quilts of Valor Presentation

Throughout the year, TVQG members have been creating red, white, and blue blocks that will be incorporated into Quilts of Valor. These quilts will be presented to deserving veterans and service members as a special recognition of their service.

We invite guild members and guests to join us for this special presentation as we recognize the recipients and celebrate the time, talent, and generosity of the quilters who helped make these quilts possible.

TVQG also has a group of quilters who gather in Newberg, Oregon, coordinated by TVQG member Karen Hubachek. Members interested in participating in Quilts of Valor projects, Sew Days, or learning more about making Quilts of Valor are encouraged to connect with the group.

Hospice & Comfort Care

 Friends of Hopewell House

The Friends of Hopewell House Quilt Program provides patients with a handmade quilt of their choice, created by generous community members who donate their time, talent, and materials.

The quilt remains with the patient throughout their care. Following the patient’s death, the quilt becomes part of their passage observance with family, friends, and caregivers. The family is then invited to take the quilt home as a meaningful and cherished keepsake.
